"There's the Donald Trump that you see on television and who gets out in front of big audiences, and there's the Donald Trump behind the scenes," Mr. Carson said. "They're not the same person."

"One's very much an entertainer, and one is actually a thinking individual," he said.

Mr. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, said that Mr. Trump would be "a lot better than Hillary" and that he would not be as bad as many conservatives fear. He said that Mr. Trump was "more reasonable" than people realized

I'm lol'ing at all of the overly righteous Carson supporters who are refusing to back Trump. It's like you're not allowed to endorse Trump. Did anyone see how many papers called on Christie to resign - for, what? Expressing an opinion? Lol...anti-Trumps are the worst.

Yep. None of them have any idea what they're talking about. The media has done a remarkably good job of spreading anti-Trump propaganda.

The man has called for the banning of an entire religion from entering the country and described an entire race of people in America as either drug dealers, criminals, raper's, or nice people... of which only the last option was questionable.

And you blame the media for the fear that this man might end up in the White House? Really?

I blame the media for the fact that nobody who parrots the 'rapists' line ever cites the reports which Trump has brought up, from reputable human rights groups like Amnesty International, which show that more than 60% of women who cross the border are raped at some point.

'According to a stunning Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. by way of Mexico are raped during their journey. That"s up from a previous estimate of 60 percent, according to an Amnesty International report.'http://www.huffingtonpost.com...

These rapes take place, sometimes from migrants, but often from violent gangs which operate south of the border; the same cartels which exploit our porous border for drug smuggling purpose. Trumps clumsily worded statement is clearly rooted in a real problem: the area just south of the border is absolutely rife with abuses, and drug trafficking is bringing these problems over the border and into this country. While 'good people' do cross the border, a lot of bad people do as well. It's a good argument for reinforcing border security, but it's been twisted every which way by every liberal clickbait mill on the internet in order to push the patently false assumption that Trump implied that all Mexican migrants are rapists.

Do you really believe for one second that Donald Trump's base support is due to the rape statistics pointed out by the Amnesty International report? Do you think his supporters are even aware that such statistics are even tracked?

Please don't be silly.

I've heard this study brought up by multiple Trump supporters. And I guarantee that I've spoken to many more of them than you've deigned to, since you seem to believe the patently false caricature of them painted by his opposition (that they're all drooling troglodytes).

If your theory about a particular group isn't really falsifiable, and has a tendency to incorporate evidence against it, then you might want to look for a new theory.

Nice try.

I'm not the one who is acting like a man running for president stands up and states that the people Mexico is sending over "are rapers", and the response from his potential supporters is to run to google and start checking rape statistics at the border to determine whether his statements are correct, and only afterward do they decide that they support his views.

I don't think I have ever seen people make such a sincere attempt to argue for something so stupid.

One former (read: not present) American military general, Michael Hayden, has expressed concerns about Trump's proposal to intentionally target the families of terrorists. That is the beginning and end of the military's concern with regard to Trump's candidacy.

The man has called for the banning of an entire religion from entering the country

A *temporary* ban, until we fix the very real problem of our faulty immigrant-screening procedures. It's really not that insane of a policy, and it's for the sake of preserving national security. Sure, it would be more "fair" to extend the ban to all immigrants instead, but nonetheless.... it's not as horrible as you're making it out to be.

and described an entire race of people in America as either drug dealers, criminals, raper's, or nice people... of which only the last option was questionable.

I'll just refer you to what Skep said. That comment is a prime example of what I'm talking about.

And you blame the media for the fear that this man might end up in the White House? Really?

Absolutely. He has been characterized in such a way that everything he says gets misinterpreted in the most negative possible light.

Or, you know, just ban immigrants from high-risk countries. Trump, who you and I both know genuinely despises Islam, and who we both also know attracts supporters who would rejoice to see the genocide of Muslims, can certainly frame his ideas in a more constructive manner.

It was apparently so obvious that Fox news missed it as well.

And BTW, "Their rapists" makes absolutely no sense in context or in content.

In context, the very next sentence was "and some, I'm sure are nice people". Some what? To find out who he's talking about you need to go to the sentence before, which according to you is "their rapists". So their rapists are nice people? lol

In content, your interpretation is that his message says Mexicans are bringing with them drugs, crime, and the people who raped them. WTF is that supposed to mean? "Ok let's see if I have everything I need... Drugs? Check. My tools that I need to commit crimes? Check. The guy who raped me? Check. Ok, ready to go...".

Your argument is a perfect example of how silly you have to be to argue for Donald Trump.

Right. And what problem exactly is that? Please point me to where Trump has laid out his detailed plan and estimated time frame of completion so that we can ensure those Muslim's waiting can get right back in. Preferably in a speech in front of the "thousands and thousands" of people he talks to all the time, not on some webpage that he probably didn't even write and where no one looks.

It's really not that insane of a policy, and it's for the sake of preserving national security. Sure, it would be more "fair" to extend the ban to all immigrants instead, but nonetheless.... it's not as horrible as you're making it out to be.

Not that insane? It's blatantly unconstitutional, counterproductive to the threats against us he is trying mitigate, and beyond impractical. He has no means as President of enforcing this without congress which will never happen, and most laughable of all... Even if he get's pass all of this... how the hell does he actually implement it? Federal Agent: "Are you a Muslim?". Muslim terrorist: "No". Now what?

And you blame the media for the fear that this man might end up in the White House? Really?

It's called politics. And Trump has quite literally given the media more to work with than any candidate in presidential history.

Right, it's not foolish at all to pretend to be serious and suggest that Mexicans want to hang on to those dear rapists they got after all.

That's probably what the ban would look like in practice anyways, because realistically, there's no way to decide who qualifies as "Muslim"

Trump, who you and I both know genuinely despises Islam, and who we both also know attracts supporters who would rejoice to see the genocide of Muslims, can certainly frame his ideas in a more constructive manner.

"He didn't frame his ideas in the most constructive possible manner" isn't what the anti-Trump people are saying, though. If it was, I would be 100% on their side. But nope -- they insist on putting forth absurdly exaggerated attacks on his character.
